How the different varieties of Spanish pronounce the phoneme represented by ll is called yeísmo (link). Varieties are /j/ (as the y in English you), /ʒ/ (as j in French jour), /dʒ/ (as j or dg in English judge). Then there is lleísmo where the ll is pronounced /ʎ/ (as gl in Italian gli). Ceci n'est pas un seing.
